6910--CPR Manikins Brand Name or Equal

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is seeking to procure CPR training manikins for the Salem VA Medical Center through solicitation number 36C24625Q0804. The procurement specifically requires 11 Resusci Anne QCPR RQI training manikins and 8 Resusci Baby QCPR RQI training manikins, classified under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with current representations and certifications, provide authorized distributor documentation, and complete the Buy American Clause along with company information including SAM CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, address, point of contact, and socioeconomic data. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer using simplified acquisition procedures. Quote submissions are due by July 2, 2025 at 9:00 AM EST and must be emailed to Kenneca Crump at Kenneca.Crump@va.gov.

Despite the government file summary indicating this is a small business set-aside, the solicitation notice itself states "No Set-Aside Used," creating some ambiguity regarding the set-aside designation. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation materials. The procurement does not specify award values or budget ranges for the training equipment acquisition. The solicitation requires delivery of a total of 19 CPR training manikins (11 adult and 8 infant models) with no specified timeline for delivery beyond the standard terms. Performance will occur at the Department of Veterans Affairs Salem VA Medical Center with FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor bears responsibility for delivery costs and risk until the goods reach their final destination.
